SO VIC WILD FROM THE USA MARRIES A RUSSIAN GAL AND TAKES RUSSIA AS HIS ADOPTED NATION.
HE WINS HIS SECOND GOLD MEDAL FOR RUSSIA - THIS TIME IN SLOPE BOARD SKYING.
INTERVIEWED AFTERWARDS ABOUT HIS WIN HE SAY, "THIS IS UNREAL. I'M NOT THE BEST HERE AT THIS SPORT. IF YOU ASKED ME TO DO IT AGAIN I WOULD NOT BE ABLE."
NOW THAT IS SOME REAL ATTITUDE OF HUMBLENESS, IN KNOWING THE FACTS, OF NOT THINKING YOURSELF ABOUT WHAT YOU OUGHT.
VIC WILD KNEW HIS ABILITY IN THIS EVENT AND THAT HE WAS NOT UP WITH THE WORLD'S BEST, IN THE OVERALL OF WHAT PEOPLE DO OVER A TIME PERIOD.
HE WAS HUMBLE ENOUGH TO REALIZE HE HAD A UNIQUE DAY.
HUMBLE ENOUGH TO EVEN SAY, "IF YOU ASKED ME TO DO THIS AGAIN I WOULD NOT BE ABLE."
AS THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID, "FOR I SAY THROUGH THE GRACE GIVEN UNTO ME, TO EVERY MAN THAT IS AMONG YOU, NOT TO THINK OF HIMSELF HIGHLY THAN HE OUGHT TO THINK, BUT TO THINK SOBERLY......" [ROMANS 12:3].
A GOOD LESSON FOR ALL OF US IS VIC WILD'S HUMILITY IN THIS SOCHI OLYMPICS OF 2014.
